Mr.. Jones makes a good newspaper OF
the New York Times but he commits a
great mistake in designating as parallel
lines the great railroads passing or being
built through the West. these roads are
in reality hundreds of miles apart covering
sections OF country dotted with settlers,
the mere skirmish line, as it were, of mil
lions yet to come. The West is a great
country, and if some of the New York edi-
tors would hunt up their old maps and
compute it's area and inform themselves of
it boundless and varied they
would learn that a dozen transcontinental
lines could be built through it and run hum
dreds OF miles apart, and hat each would
find a remunerative freight and passenger

Railroad building has become one of the
arts in this day and generation. A few
years ago it dragged its slow length along
and men grew gray in completing a line.
Now a road springs into existence as if by
magic. Improved machinery, implements
OF modern patterns, armies Of men thor.
oughly disciplined are the factors which
now enter into the construction OF great
lines. The Montana Central is an instance
OF what IAN be done in railroad building.
The projectors OF the enterprise propose to
lay the track to Helena before snow flies
ae4t winter. About 1900 miles of road
bed must be spanned to accomplish the
feat; but it will be done. Capital is deadin
An unfinished road. 1t will be full of
life in the completed Montana Central.

It is said that out OF 936 samples of
wine analysed at the Paris Municipal
Laboratory in March, only 365 were
sound, 2O7 contained water, 1T plaster.
1913 were sugsred and 80 composed in part
OF raisins. This calls renewed attention to
the safety in buying California wines.
Pure wines can be procured in California,
and Americans should use them in prefer
ence to the poisonous mixtures which are
imported from France. But there are
some American fools who would rather
drink an adulterated wine from France or
Spain than a pure wine from California or

capitalists for $4,000. The Little Ida il

and adjoins the Little Ida, while the Penn.

and Immediately southeastward from the
Grant and Grant extension. The Harris

THE PROPERTY
by a tunnel extending Las feet, wherein
they have crossed several veins of rich min.
eral. The ore consists almost exclusively
OF chlorides Of silver, carrying a small per-
centage OF gold. They have also STOPPED
and WINGED with most gratifying results.
The mines SO far as developed indicate a
bonanza for the owners. The first winze is
in about 80 feet from the mouth of the
tunnel. and is down about 12Ofeet on a bed
OF rich ore. The extreme length of the
tunnel has developed some of the
richest treasures found 10 Montana.
The northern extension of the tunnel has
cut a We n of ore, the exact width of which
is unknown. Mr.. Harris showed me con-
siderable copper galena, and pointed out
the fact that the ore body was not yet dis.
covered, but when fully exposed would
show

There is a vast amount of chloride silver
ore being extracted, and the force now en-
ployed on the last vein struck in
the face OF the tunnel are both

the chlorides will show from sc ounces
to 125 ounces in silver. The Upper

but the silver ore, free milling, is predomin.
ating. Peacock iron is noticeable through.

tire body so far as developed is free milling
ores. At the distance OF 1145 feet from
the opening OF the tunnel the depth from
the surface will be 400 feet overhead. This
considerable ground for stopping.
The general ore body 20 far has but one
wall, and the men are daily drifting on the
main vein. The width of the vein will not
be ascertained for several days.

which was promptly accepted and paid
for. Since that time Spork has bought /.
magazine every month, in the expecta-
ton of seeing his article in print, and has
already squandered in this manner a
very substantial fortune-but the article
has not yet appeared. The other day he
sat down and wrote the following letter
to the editor of the magazine:
''AIr. Editor-My once princely fortune
is squandered in buying copies of your
magazine, in the expectation of seeing
my article, written sixty-three years ago,
in the vigor and buoyancy Of my youth,
published therein. My health is broken;

proach of death. These are trihes, you
may say, but they affect me; and conse-

refund the amount of the original check
paid for the article, provided it is pub
hshed before my death.

One Dose Enough.

Mr.. Wells, in his account of Brazil and
its inquisitive inhabitants, tells how one
of these was C ured of the very trouble
some habit of prying into other peoples
affairs. He was the man of the village,
and was reported to be rich, in place
where. e500 in ready cash constitutes a
very rich man.
He was always extremely inquisitive
of my few belongings, and his curiosity
was finally punished in very funny
manner. On one of his visits he found
my bottle of spirits of ammonia on the
table, and seeing il was something he had
not hitherto inspected, he naturally laid
hold of it, and asked of me, "What is
+his?''
'sOnly amedicine, = replied; and with
much satisfaction watched him hold it
up to the light, look at it all round, turn
it upside down, and finally remove the
glass stopper, and then take a good sniff.
| had to rush forward to save my
precious ammonia, as he staggered and
gasped for breath. By dint of much
slapping Of his back and dousing OF cold
water, he quickly recovered, but never
more did he touch my things. Youth 8

Proof That the Earth nroves.

/ was present the other evening at an
interesting scientific experiment to prove
that the earth moves. 1t was originally
performed in 1851 by Foucault at tho
Pantheon.
On this occasion it was repeated on the
summit of the beautiful Tour Saint
jacques, q landmark known and admired
by all visitors to Paris. 1t was performed
by the scientific gentlemen having charge
of the Laboratory Of Physical Sciences, I"
which was installed last year in the tower,
at O'Clock in the evening a considerable
crowd assembled in the square, and adj
mired the graceful structure which was
handsomely Illuminated.
From the apex of the tower, thirty
nine meters from the ground, had been
fastened between two slabs of plantinum
steel wire nine-tenths of millimetre in
thickness. From the end of the wire
hung q copper ball weighing twenty-nine
kilos, to which was affixed steel spur.
This pendulum was set in motion, and
the spectators could see that the steel spur
traced on a layer of sand beneath a series
of lines, which by their diversity proved
that the plane of the pendulum's oscilla-
ton was constantly changing-a pho
nomenon that could not have been pro-
duced were the earth absolutely
motionless.-Paris Ger. New York
